Shock win by Happy Surprise in the mud

IPOH: May 18, 2014

HAPPY SURPRISER, who had finished down the field in six runs this season, sprang a big surprise when he carved out a narrow in the opening race here today to pay RM281 for a win.

The Australian gelding started out in late 2009 and had a win in 2011 but was most successful last year when he chalked up three wins.

With the going heavy after a heavy downpour, HAPPY SURPRISER was fully tested but came through with a neck-win.

Another runner who had a reversal of fortunes was COCONUT. The Australian four-year-old was no better than eighth in all his runs this season but came through to win easily. It was his maiden win in 20 starts.
